“Match Up With Jon Jones” – MMA Fans Go Crazy Over Wiz Khalifa’s ‘Dangerous’ Training Video

Lately, we have been seeing many notable figures getting into training in martial arts, such as Mark Zuckerberg and Tom Hardy. With UFC becoming a mainstream sport, it certainly did ignite the spirit of training in MMA among many people around the world. One of them is the multi-platinum-selling artist, Wiz Khalifa. However, the rapper isn’t new to the bandwagon. In fact, he’s undertaken MMA for a good few years now. And recently, he posted a training clip of himself, showcasing his MMA chops and the fans are rendered speechless over it.

During the podcast with Logan Paul, Wiz Khalifa revealed what pushed him to start training in MMA. “I’ve been training for like five years now. And, I don’t know, I f*ck with it, it’s just fun… It’s cool to learn new s***. I think the older you get, you just get into different things. Your body just tells you like what’s cool and what’s not cool.”

Further talking about his involvement in MMA the rapper stated, “So, I started lifting, and I went to Unbreakable with Jay Glazer, and just naturally, they just put me on this program… I’m kind of just open for whatever, you know, Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, striking, it’s whatever. Like, if you wanna teach me some s**t, I’m down to learn.”
